Aug. 6, 2009 -- The summer villa of Roman Emperor Vespasian has been found in the Sabine hill country northeast of Rome, Italian archaeologists announced today.
Titus Flavius Vespasianus is known for rebuilding the Roman Empire following the tumultuous reign of Emporer Nero. Vespasian changed the face of Rome by launching a major public works program, which included the construction of the Colosseum, the structure that arguably defines the glory of ancient Rome.

Great! And now I wait for the 3D HighDef interactive VR walkaround.
Between the competing mafia families and coalitions, the east european gangs, and Silvio Berlusconi, that's a place I don't particularly fancy to visit IRL right now.
Love to watch their TV channels, though. Even though I don't understand a word those
hundreds of ravishingly gorgeous, big-breasted, deep-cleavaged mediterranean beauties make for hours of viewing pleasure!

If you worry about stuff like that you'll never leave the house.

It's my contribution to limiting greenhouse gases, my carbon footprint, interference with nature, and the distribution of H1N1...
